“Writing is the shame of man. It dilutes the guts of meaning. If thou be not man enough to hold great learning and the saying of events in your memory, then thou should not attempt to keep them imprisoned. The world was turned by scrolls and books. The making of those bricks of paper even contaminated the tower of language itself, making it less than a woodpile or an old maid’s collection of rags. Words are power, and writing is only a pissed shadow.”
i know several authors that should understand this wisdom.
